Yesterday we talked about the rumor that has been circulating regarding Randy Couture’s possible return to the UFC.Well, more news is circulating today and it appears there is perhaps more fact than fiction to this rumor.

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Couture may not be returning for just one more fight but that the former champion and UFC Hall-of-Famer is actually negotiating a completely new contract with the promotion. Meltzer says a brand new three-fight deal is in the works that would see Couture return this November to face Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 in Portland, OR. The new contract would surely pay Couture a much higher rate than his previous contract and the assumption is that with a new contract all contract disputes between Couture and Zuffa, LLC would be dropped.

So, it appears that “Captain America” may be returning to action pretty soon. I’d love to see him back, but a fight with Lesnar is a bit odd, although it will be sure to draw HUGE gate and Pay-Per-View.
